woops … attached my comment to the wrong spot – meant to be in reply to the Q re where to find the cornmeal.

Found the corn flour today at Norton Street Grower in Leichhardt (lower level in Norton Plaza)

That’s the one! Wish we had that up here.

I first had Tamales at the Colombian Food Festival couple of years back. This year I had arepas, tamales, and pork and rice.

Omg, that’s where I first had arepas too! It was raining and miserable.

I think I know the cheese you mean, they have it at my local Woolies, it’s called Mamma somebody’s Provole, can’t remember the exact name.

I stumbled on this post trying to find a local cheese for my Arepas. I once tried a cheese from Melbourne they were calling Provole which seemed right, wish I could remember the name.
I use the unboiled Masa flour and boil that with plenty of water then salt and butter till the mix is stretchy then I pour the mix into molds.
Thanks for the link to Grandma Arepas. I believe I had one of their Arepas at the Colombian Food Festival in Brisbane this year.
